L-carnitine inhibits both triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) entry into the cell nuclei.
As hyperthyroidism may be associated with modest carnitine deficiency.
However, in patients who suffer from hypothyroidism or who have had their thyroid glands removed and are using thyroid hormone replacement therapy, having their thyroid hormone activity blocked or inhibited by L-carnitine is the last thing they need.

http://www.shinmai.co.jp/news/20111004/KT111003ATI090018000.html
Some quotes:
"At the moment, it can't be said that any of these children are ill"
"One child's thyroid gland hormones were lower than standard"
"7 children had thyroid stimulant hormones higher than standard"
"The thyroglobulin levels of 2 children were slightly higher than standard"
[That's the 10 kids in total]
"No children were found to have hyperthyroidism"
Another study was conducted on over 1000 children (roughly 10 times more) earlier in the year.
http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201108180318.html
Despite the alarmist headline, the content of this article says, "26 percent of under-16s absorbed 0.01 microsievert per hour, while 11 percent absorbed 0.02 microsievert per hour. At least one child recorded radiation of 0.10 microsievert per hour, but officials said that level did not pose a health risk."

combinations of L-thyroxine plus liothyronine do not offer any objective advantage over l-thyroxine alone, yet patients prefer combination treatment.

Sea vegetables are an excellent source of iodine and vitamin K, a very good source of the B-vitamin folate, and magnesium, and a good source of iron and calcium, and the B-vitamins riboflavin and pantothenic acid. In addition, sea vegetables contain good amounts of lignans, plant compounds with cancer-protective properties.
Sea vegetables, especially kelp, are nature’s richest sources of iodine, which as a component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), is essential to human life.

Did you know that thyroid, adrenal and blood sugar imbalances are connected and very often come together?
Adrenal dysfunction is the most commonly seen imbalance together with digestive and blood sugar disorders. Adrenal problems are also one of the major factors that cause thyroid hormone imbalance. Stress from work, relationships, electronics, poor diet choices such as consumption of refined carbohydrates and trans fats, infections, and environmental toxins all contribute to adrenal disorders.

The symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, constipation, depression and feeling especially sensitive to cold temperatures.
A pregnant woman with hypothyroidism is at risk for complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, having a baby with a very low birthweight or other problems.
"The common symptoms of the first trimester of pregnancy are also common symptoms of hypothyroidism," Dr. Campaigne said. "This should not prevent a woman from getting screening, but it may confuse her or her physician's interpretation of her hormone/metabolic balance."

7 Ways To Support Your Adrenals
1. Get adequate sleep. Seven to eight hours a night is ideal, and if you can get to bed well before midnight you get extra points. This is when our bodies do most of their healing.
2. Schedule “me time” as part of your daily routine, and make it a priority.
3. Practice stillness or meditation every day.
4. Incorporate yoga into your routine (and spend extra time in savasana).
5. Eliminate refined sugar and processed carbs. They are empty calories and do nothing besides stress out your adrenals. Adrenal glands help to regulate blood sugar levels.
6. Eat a clean diet of organic, fresh, plant-based whole foods. Load up on vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, beans and whole grains.
7. Kick the coffee habit. Swap your caffeine fix for green tea, peppermint tea, dandelion and chicory root tea or nice clean water.

The adrenal glands are the triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys. And they are super important for a healthy immune system. They are also necessary for proper thyroid function, balancing your hormones, & maintaining your ideal weight. They are pretty much the "Regulators of your Body".
